One of the greatest consolations for those who have had their
children aborted is to be able to help others avoid that tragedy.
Testimonies by the thousands continue to be gathered by pro-life
organizations and other counseling agencies who, more and more, are
dealing with the destructive effects of the violent act of abortion
as they impact the mother of the child.

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a Campaign whereby
Christians make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings
to women and men. The campaign seeks to expose and heal the secrecy
and silence surrounding the emotional and physical pain of abortion.
There are over
1,600 testimonies posted on the Campaign website.

We post here the testimonies of individuals who have asked
us to use their stories to help others. If you have a testimony,
send it to us at

"When it was over, I drove myself home, relieved that it was over and
done. I never told anybody about it. But after a while, I started to
regret what I had done and lived with this secret deep down in my broken
heart."

"It is my hope that I will continue to heal and help other younger family
members to make better choices in life, as I know the impact that abortion
can have on the health of those involved in this trauma, both at a physical
level and psychological level."

"I regularly pray for young girls who are facing unexpected, and often
unwanted, pregnancies and for those going through the guilt and shame of
an abortion. There are resources available. I hope and pray that you
find the healing you are looking for."

"I whole-heartedly regret my decision. I urge anyone who is thinking
about doing this to really think about it. Don't do it. You have so many
other options. You will have to live with this
every single minute of every single day like I do."

"Regret and pain flooded my heart and soul the very moment I started
having second thoughts, and I've regretted it ever since. Many times
the thought has crossed my mind that the baby may have been the only boy
I've had. "

"I have shared my story with some other women and feel that it has done
some good. It is not easy, but it must be done. I have days of sadness
and fight depression at times. That is when I turn my eyes upon Jesus and He smiles and tells me He love me."

"Please listen to my story and make the right decision. Abortion is not the answer, no matter how confusing it may be...It’s better than living a life full of regret and sadness because you killed your baby. It sounds hard, but it’s the truth."

"For years I hid it. I never ever considered how abortion would affect my
future, but especially how it would impact my own parents and my future
children. My parents now are missing a grandchild, my daughter and her
two sisters and younger brother are missing an older brother." Brice's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I had absolutely no idea about this abortion. I was shocked. I felt
angry, sad. I felt guilty for every time I had said that I'd wanted a
brother, an older brother or sister" Zoe's testimony at the March for Life 2015

"'Yes, my daughter had an abortion.' We have to not be afraid to talk
about this among ourselves, and also we have to forgive ourselves. I
internally beat myself up without telling anybody for a very long time. When I think about it now, I
probably could've even helped more people had I been more public about
it." Janet Morana's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I just praise God for all the young people that are here at the March for Life because it's really their testimonies that's going to change things along with us and all the people that have had abortions or experienced abortions." Lisa's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"When I told my children of the abortion several years ago, my oldest son, who is now 33 said, 'Mom, you have felt bad about this long enough, I love you, now go and help others to see the truth.'" Lisa's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"My parents were stunned at first, then they started to see all of the
emotional problems that I was having. I was going to see shrink after
shrink after shrink and being put on medication like a zombie. Finally I
realized there had to be something else and that's when I was
introduced to Rachel's Vineyard." Jacquie's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I became paralyzed with sorrow for what I had done. I felt hollow and unworthy of happiness in life. I constantly wondered, 'What if I hadn't rushed to into such a final decision?'" Shelly's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I heard a young woman talking about how her peers had been taken away by
abortion, and I knew that I was guilty of taking away my sister's
nephew, my niece's cousin, my father's grandson, etc. That brought a new
sense of the impact of what I had done." Sarah's testimony at the March for Life 2015

"Abortion did not undo the rape; it did not turn back the clock. Abortion
eliminated my children, Sarah Elizabeth and Joseph Michael, and it
robbed us of future children. It is over 40 years since my abortion, and
I regret my abortion, and I will be silent no more." Angelina's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I told them that the same mother that they knew that fed them, nurtured them, played with them was the same mother that ended the life of their
sister, was the same mother that robbed them from ever bonding with her,
from ever playing with her, from ever dancing with her." Irene's testimony from the March for Life 2015

"I found myself falling into a deep
depression. I became self-loathing, anxious, detached from those I
loved. My relationships with my parents and children and friends
suffered as I distanced myself. Who could love me after what I had done?" Nancy's shares her testimony, as well as her daughters' stories, at the March for Life 2015

"Once I accepted that God could forgive me, I began to move past my
shame. I began to see how He was able to turn that darkness into light.
Without God’s mercy and grace, I would not be alive today." Laura's testimony at the March for Life 2015
